Ian Balina, a cryptocurrency YouTuber, Famed ICO promoter was apparently hacked out of $2 million during a live-streamsession.Ian Balina was reviewing ICO's on his channel as usual, when a viewer suddenly notified him that “someone” had moved all tokens out of his wallet.“Ian, did you know that somebody transferred all your tokens from your account,” one user asked in the comments. “Hope that it’s controlled movement.”The livestream had nothing to do with it. Here's how he says he thinks he was hacked:

"This is how I think I got hacked. My college email was listed as a recovery email to my Gmail. I remember getting an email about it being compromised, and tried to follow up with my college security to get it resolved, but wasn’t able to get it handled in fast manner and gave up on it thinking it was just an old email.I kept text versions of my private keys stored in my Evernote, as encrypted text files with passwords. I think they hacked my email using my college email, and then hacked my Evernote."

He later tweeted about the incident as well:

Crypto Family, I need you now more than ever. I ended today's live stream b/c I am being hacked. I'm not worried about the money. I learned my lesson. I only care about catching the hacker. Please email any information to ibalina88@gmail.com. Thank you all the support. $ETH$BTC
